Villalauramarie-amazing seaview retreat with garden-78 reviews-25Km from Palermo

Independent stylish villa overlooking the sea with a breathtaking waterfront view and a large garden. Direct access to the rocky coast, beside our property. Very private and quiet.
We prefer to receive reservations that go from Saturday to Saturday especially in high season . Book directly if your week goes from Saturday to Saturday, please contact us if you need to begin or end your vacation on a different day; we will answer you in a few hours.
Located in Mongerbino, 25 km from Palermo. It's in a strategic point to reach many towns and other sites, of artistic and cultural interest : Monreale, Cefalù, Solunto, Bagheria . Agrigento and its temples are one hour away. Very close to Mongerbino are seaports like Porticello and Aspra great for buying fresh fish . Also at only 50 meters away there is an access to the park of 'Monte Catalfano', great for hiking.

The house is entirely surrounded by a nice garden and has a very big terrace which is divided into two parts; one side is exposed to the sun and has a beautiful view of Capo Zafferano and the other side is protected by an awning which gives you privacy. The inside of the house has been remodeled and has a big and very sunny living room, a kitchen, a master bedroom, and two other bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have a breathtaking view of the sea. Of course a bathroom with a shower. The house is surrounded by windows and you have a beautiful view wherever you look. It's advisable to have a car because the closest center is 3 km away.

Our concept of quality.
Renting out villa Laura Marie, is carried out directly by the owners. We enjoy the house for some weeks during the year and we try to constantly improve it. We love the house and we hope this feeling reaches our guests while they stay in the villa.

Here are some things we can assure you:

- What you see (in the photos ) is what you get

- An accurate cleaning of the house before you arrive.

- A person that will greet you at the house ( usually the owners ), will show you the villa, explain to you whatever you need to know and answer any question . Written instructions about the house.

- The owner is available to answer any question during the reservation process and even after.

- There will be a great number of panphlets books and maps available in the house regarding Sicily and the area around Mongerbino.

At 50 meters from our villa there is access to Monte Catalfano Park. Some trails will bring you into the Mediterranean scrub and will let you observe from above the coast with Capo Zafferano, the village of Aspra and the town of Bagheria.

Train to Palermo: If you want to avoid using the car to arrive in Palermo, reach Bagheria or Santa Flavia Station, park you car and arrive in the city in 10-15 minutes

Home with a view!
We spent 9 days in this beautiful home in March of 2024. Everything was spotlessly clean and the whole home had been freshly painted. Communication with Antonio was easy and he even made dinner reservations for us at the restaurant down the road. We were able to do several day trips from this location close to Palermo but the best hours were spent on the terrace watching the fishing boats, paddlers, sailboats etc out on the sea. The pictures don’t do justice to the wonderful views. Daytime temperatures were lovely in the sun but we appreciated the heaters in the rooms in the evenings. We made most of our meals in the kitchen and ate al fresco every day. There were quite a few steps to get down to the house so anyone with mobility issues would have a difficult time. There were also steps leading down to the sea but the weather was too chilly for a dip. We would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in Sicily. Thank you Antonio for sharing your home.

We had an amazing stay at the villa! We enjoyed every second of the week we spent there. The views were spectacular. The house itself was clean and well designed, we had everything that we needed during our stay. The hosts are very welcoming and understanding, every little question or demand we had was promptly answered. We hope to return some day!

A comfortable property in a beautiful location with views of Capo Zafferano and out to sea (with occasional sightings of dolphins). The terrace is spacious, immediately above the sea, and ideal for a peaceful day, and dining. Access to the property requires a car but visits to Palermo, Cefalu and Messina are easy by train from Bagheria station (ten minutes from the property). Antonio, the owner, is very helpful about good local restaurants (very good fish restaurant in Porticello, a small fishing port about 15 minutes from the property, and a very good, although expensive, restaurant some 400 metres from the property) and the location of local beaches. Access to the sea is possible from the property down a steep path to the rocks, but bathing is advisable only on a calm day. Overall, a lovely , interesting and restful experience!

This is a great house at a beautiful spot on the coast, well situated for exploring Palermo and beyond. Antonio was an extremely helpful host. The house was very clean, though the surrounding area (indeed much of Sicily) seems to have a trash problem.

Wonderful home in Sicily
Villa Laura Marie is truly a beautiful home for a visit to Sicily. Antonio and Deborah's location on the rocky hillside overlooking the seaside are just as described in listing, only more spectacular in person. Our family of three arrived in early May, Antonio greeted us with easy check in and even arranged reservations for dinner at Can Caus Restaurant. This is a lovely restaurant, close to house and the food was great. This home is the perfect location to explore many areas of Sicily. We had a car, manual drive Jeep Cherokee, necessary to get to grocery stores and day trips from home. We drove to Cefalu for the day, had drinks overlooking the sea at Porta Cefula, then walked the charming area around the cathedral. A must visit is to the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, a two hour drive from Villa Laura Marie. These ancient ruins are incredible, only a visit in person can describe the site and experience. Our trip to Mount Etna did take longer than anticipated, the highway was closed in areas, but this allowed us to see parts of Sicily that included a drive through high mountain passes with hairpin curves, spectacular views over valleys and a few wild hogs grazing the roadside! We were too late to get close to Mount Etna but were able to explore the town of Adrano, with views of the volcano and lots of history from the Norman era. Palermo was a short drive from the home once we discovered a good route, we were able to visit on several days for shopping and dining on excellent food in the small alleyways in front of the Massimo Theater. The port area was also great for a walking experience in Palermo. Above all, we were able to relax and enjoy Villa Laura Marie, a beautiful home and the best place start a visit to Sicily, Again, many thanks to Antonio and Deborah for our family to enjoy our first visit to Sicily.

A wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. We could have spent the whole week looking at the view and walking down to the sea but we also visited lots of beautiful places. Palermo, Cefalu, Greek temples, fabulous seafood and cooking fresh fresh on the BBQ. It was a wonderful stay and we’ll be back. Thank you Antonio

Cinque Stelle! (5 *****)
We had a memorable week staying at Villa Laura Marie. Antonio and Debbie were there to greet us, give advice and show us the house which was comfortable and decorated with care and attention to detail. It is filled with their collection of beautiful Sicilian ceramics. We were in a great location for touring the region, visiting Cefalù, Scopello, Erice, Trepani, Palazzo Adriano (il museo di Cinema Paradiso), and Palermo. It is easy and inexpensive to take the excellent trains to and from Bagheria station to Palermo. Aspra Beach is lovely with an excellent bakery and gelateria in front of the sea. We bought vegetables and fresh fish on the seafront and there is a good supermarket a few minutes away on a back street (Condin). The view from there terrace at sunrise is breathtaking. We ate outside whenever we could as we had quite a bit of rain during our week.

Beautiful Property With Wonderful Ocean Views
Rented the Villa Laura Marie for a week in September 2021. Antonio & Debbie are very gracious hosts. Their property is immaculate - amazing ocean views and beautiful landscaping. Also, lots of nice little touches inside the house. Really enjoyed relaxing on the patio and taking in the spectacular view of the ocean and Capo Zafferano. The house & property exceeded our expectations in all respects. Antonio was also very helpful in assisting us with a few matters which included finding us a place where we could obtain our COVID testing to get back into the United States. Using the Villa as our base, we visited Cefalu, Segesta & Erice & Monreale by car. All worthwhile trips once you get the hang of the aggressive driving in Sicily. We also took the train to Palermo from Bagheria and spent the day there where we did a walking food tour and took a tour of the Teatro Massimo. A very nice day indeed! Only disappointment in our trip overall was the garbage issue all over Sicily. Especially in the non tourist locations, you will see garbage on the side of the road. We have been to Italy several times and don't remember this to be so noticeable. Whatever the local issues are that allow this to remain, it detracts from the natural beauty of Sicily and the character of its towns and villages. Overall, it was a very nice week at a wonderful property. Fred & Arlene

Beautiful villa in a tropical, terraced garden on the stunning Mongerbino coastline
A dream vacation, the lovely Laura Marie Villa sits on a spectacular stretch of rocky coastline just east of Palermo. There is easy access to the water nearby, either a walk to a rocky outcrop which is great for snorkelling or a short drive to sandy beaches. The view from the large terrace is fabulous and there are plenty of chairs, deck chairs and sunloungers to enjoy it from, all surrounded by a well tended tropical, terraced garden. There is also a barbecue and outdoor kitchen area. Inside there is a comfortable open plan lounge/dining area with small, well stocked kitchen, along with 3 bedrooms. We are a family of 5, all children now grown, and we fitted the villa perfectly. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan to help stay cool in the hot summer months, which we really needed in early July, as the weather was hot and humid. The property has a driveway on a slope with a parking area that is big enough to use as a turning circle. Our large rental car needed to do a 7 point turn in the space, so probably best to book a smaller size car if possible. Antonio and Debbie look after the villa exceedingly well, with a friendly personal service and plenty of information and advice if needed. Although it was hard to leave the lovely terrace each day, we managed to visit many interesting places. Very close by is the ancient archaeological site of Solunta, well worth visiting and has great views of the region. We took the train into Palermo, which was also easy from Bagheria, and a short walk then to the main sites of interest. Driving in Sicily can be startling around the towns and cities at busy times....reminding us of Mariokart!! Be prepared for cars overtaking on both sides and free for all busy junctions! However, outside the city, the autostrada routes were an easy drive. We were able to visit Segesta and Ericae in one day and also Cefalu is an easy day trip. In nearby Castelldaccia we found a scuba diving company and 2 of our party enjoyed a half day scuba trip with them, while the rest of us relaxed at the nearby lido! Overall, we had a wonderful holiday made very memorable by the spectacular location of this very special villa. Thank you Antonio and Debbie.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Laura Marie after a busy week prior. The view was stupendous,and location was perfect for us. We did some day trips from the Villa without needing to get caught up in city traffic and congestion. The property had everything we needed to feel comfortable. There is no A/C, but efficient ceiling fans that kept us cool. We were within a short drive to grocery stores and a number of really great restaurants. A wonderful stay and nice villa!

Antonio welcomed us to his family villa very late one night, with charm and patience. We woke up to an incredible view from the terrace, one that just got better and better. The property is obviously loved by its owner and we found it very comfortable. We loved the area which is not touristy and explored during the day and returned to the wonderful terrace in the evening. Thank you for letting us stay. Regards Lynne Day

Villa Laura Marie a very special place
This was our second family visit to the Villa - we returned because we decided it was our favourite ever location and villa. Being just next to the sea is very special and there is always plenty to look at. We tended to buy food locally and cook at the villa making the most of the superb views and climate. However there is plenty to do nearby. We are very fond of the film Cinema Paradiso so we went to many of the locations used in its production including Palazzo Adriano, the main venue. Villa Laura Marie is a beautiful period piece - it has been carefully designed to that you get excellent views of the sea from the inside and the terrace and gardens are wonderful. We are already thinking of a return visit. Jeremy, Lucy and family. Sheffield UK.

A truly charming Mediterranean villa, very conveniently located. Here we enjoyed the calm and the view, while Palermo and the other main sightseeing sites were easy to reach. The very well organised owner , who doesn't live on the spot, provided us with lots of informations, links and useful tips about this beautiful region . He was also flexible and supportive, for instance when we needed to match our meetings with our flights. Paradise lost when we finally had to leave .

Bella vista
Wunderschöne Lage über dem Meer, traumhafter Blick. Besonders geeignet für Menschen, die Ruhe suchen, aber zugleich unaufwändige Möglichkeit zur Passeggiata in Aspra oder Ponticello. Die große Terrasse bietet zu allen Tageszeiten Schatten. Zugang zum Meer allerdings nur bei ruhiger See gefahrlos möglich. Wer viel selbst kochen will, kommt bei der Ausstattung der kleinen Küche schnell an Grenzen. Der Gasbackofen ist nur etwas für Kenner. Bei Belegung mit fünf Personen würde das kleine Bad durchaus Absprachen erfordern. Aber das ist Kritik auf sehr hohem Niveau. Villa Laura Marie garantiert in jedem Fall unvergessliche Momente.
